THE YOUNG Michael Jordan was the GOAT

Kun Desenmascarado ,La Regla es Clara, No fue Penal, No se Puede estar en Desacuerdo Imagen!

“Vimos lo mismo que vos” Daniel Alves...“Terminé con un vendaje por el pisotón que él me dio” Una afirmación de que una acción de Zaçrano fue correcta, y como las afirmaciones de Argentina son comprensibles, porque lanzar específicamente (usted es el puntaje de las penalizaciones) es difícil que el juego sea muy tenso. “Terminé con un vendaje por el pisotón que él me dio” Dani Alves habló sobre la polémica previa al segundo gol de Brasil, jugada en la que cruza a Agüero y el VAR decide no revisar. Opinó que fue el Kun quien lo pisó, y que por eso se fue vendado. Pero... ¿no había sido de la jugada contra Acuña? ¿En qué quedamos? Mirá. Después de la victoria de Brasil por 2-0 frente a Argentina, que le permitió al Scratch clasificarse a la final de la Copa América del próximo domingo en el Maracaná, los protagonistas fueron muy críticos por el nivel del arbitraje de Roddy Zambrano. Cuando Dani Alves fue consultado por una de las polémicas en particular, opinó que no fue penal sobre Agüero, sino que el Kun le hizo falta a él. Mirá la jugada: Imagen congelada muestra a Pisão de Agüero en Daniel Alves - La imagen congelada muestra a Pisão de Agüero en Daniel Alves - Foto: Reproducción En la confederación hay más dudas acerca de que el elenco de Arthur en Otamendi no se enfrentará entre Daniel Alves y Agüero; aquí entiendo que el atacante pisa el lado brasileño antes de caer. Tu propio Daniel Alves dijo que estaba pisado. "Agüero me dio un pisotón en el pie cuando no estaba controlado. Lo pisó, así que se tiró al suelo. - Se jugaron claros que no se vieron en el VAR. En esta Copa, cansado de anotar toques tontos, penas absurdas, y hoy incluso fui al VAR. Conmebol intenta tratar las declaraciones de Lionel Messi luego de una derrota por 2-0 ante Brasil el martes en Mineirão para las semifinales de la Copa América. En medio de muchas críticas contra el arbitraje del ecuatoriano Roddy Zambrano, la camiseta 10 también golpeó fuertemente en la Confederación Sudamericana de Fútbol. "Espero que Conmebol haga algo, aunque creo que no hará nada, porque Brasil controla todo, es muy complicado", dijo. La confederación no responderá formalmente a los críticos de la estrella más grande de la competencia. Messi dice que Argentina luchó duro y Brasil no fue superior en el partido. Messi ataca a Conmebol y dice que "Brasil controla todo"; la entidad decide no responder La respuesta de Willian a Messi El brasileño del Chelsea cargó contra las declaraciones de Leo y hasta se quejó de las faltas que cometió Argentina. Mirá lo que dijo... Fue el tema que dominó la zona mixta, ese recorrido que los jugadores hacen al salir al vestuario post partido y antes de retirarse de la cancha. Allí, el primero en salir fue Argentina. Y entonces, los ecos de las declaraciones de Messi empezaron a tener rebote cuando fue el turno de los brasileños. Uno de los que contestó fue Richarlison. Otro, el amigo del 10, Dani Alves. Pero hubo uno más: Willian también le respondió al capitán argentino. "¿Que Messi dijo que Brasil maneja todo en la Conmebol? No estoy de acuerdo con él. Pienso que el arbitraje fue normal. Dejó pegar para los dos lados. No vi nada raro", le dijo a Olé el hombre del Chelsea, con gesto serio. Y enseguida se refirió a la jugada que protestó la Selección: ese penal de Dani Alves a Agüero antes del 2 a 0. "Había VAR. Si no llamaron, es porque no fue penal. En mi opinión, eso fue lo que aconteció", contó. Y volvió a hablar del arbitraje, esta vez quejándose de las infracciones de la Selección de Scaloni: "El árbitro dirigió normal, aunque es cierto que dejó pegar mucho. Sobre todo, a la Argentina, que cometió muchas faltas. A mí me entraron fuerte (el cruce de Foyth) y me voy a tener que recuperar para la final", contó. Después, el hombre del Chelsea, que entró en el ST por Everton, desestimó cualquier sospecha sobre la Copa América organizada por Brasil. "No está hecha para que ganemos nosotros. Eso no es así. Nosotros merecemos estar en la final, porque jugamos bien y logramos la clasificación. Ahora hay que pensar en el partido en el Maracaná".

‘Space Jam 2’: Michael Jordan doesn’t want LeBron James to star in sequel

If it were up to “His Airness,” the heir to his throne atop the Space Jam sequel wouldn”t be King James. While at his basketball camp, Michael Jordan was asked who he would like to see star in Space Jam 2, the follow up to the 1996 movie. While three-time NBA champ LeBron James is attached to star, Jordan said he would prefer another all star. “I would probably pick Blake Griffin,” Jordan said. While Griffin won”t get the key role in the Justin Lin-directed flick, he already has some experience with the movie. In 2014, the L.A. Clipper did a reading of the original Space Jam at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre where he played Jordan. He did so alongside Nick Kroll, Danielle Fishel and Seth Green. Griffin's fondness for the space basketball film doesn't end there. In a 2015 interview with Basketball Insiders, he said of the project, “I”d love to be involved in any capacity, really. Space Jam was a huge part of my childhood. I actually had a Space Jam-themed birthday party as a teen. Then, when I turned 21, my friends got me a Space Jam cake again just to re-live the glory days.” Check out the video of Jordan”s comments and Griffin”s performance…

James Harden The Story behind the Beard

James Harden has become a master in isolation by adding new twists to some of basketball’s best moves. Here’s how he turned one of Stephen Curry’s tricks on its side to create one of his signature moves.Being a great scorer in the NBA has always been about creating space. From Mikan’s drop step to Kareem’s sky hook to MJ’s fadeaway to Hakeem’s Dream Shake, if a player has wanted to get a shot off, he has needed room to let it fly. Those moves once created great position to score around the basket and in the midrange, but as the game has expanded outward, the need for moves to create looks from behind the 3-point line and at the rim has increased. As a result, the NBA’s go-to maneuvers now look more like something you’d seen on a playground, or a game featuring James Harden. One player dribbling the air out of the ball as they size up their defender may not be the brand of hoops that James Naismith had in mind, but they have set up Harden’s groundbreaking game. Through an array of jab steps and herky-jerky fakes, Harden has unleashed a mix of hyperefficiency and prolificness unlike anything the NBA has seen before. The reigning MVP is so effective that some of his go-to shots would be considered “bad” in the hands of most players. RELATED The 3-Point Boom Is Far From Over Steph Curry on the Evolution of Steph Curry To catch up to Stephen Curry’s wizardry, Harden and the Houston Rockets have taken off-the-dribble 3-pointers to another level. The Rockets have built their offense around pull-up jumpers, with Harden leading the charge; the reigning MVP has taken 740 pull-up 3-point attempts this season, nearly twice as many as the next player. Of the 27 players who have taken at least 150 pull-up 3-pointers, Harden ranks sixth in percentage at 36.4. He scores 1.09 points per possession on those looks, nearly the same as he scores in the restricted area. Harden’s stepback 3-pointer is the shot in his vast offensive arsenal that gets the most attention—even from fellow superstars—but another move has quietly also been creating open off-the-dribble 3s for him and players all over the league: the side step. What’s a side step? It’s a quick separation move wherein the ball handler lunges to their right or left before lifting for a shot. Like the stepback, the side step freezes defenders by quickly faking a drive. But rather than taking a hard dribble and pushing off their lead foot to go backward, the offensive player presses off their outside foot and jolts laterally. It’s simple and effective, and it maximizes the 3-ball. “It’s amazing to me that you have the best athletes in the world on him and then he, in one or two moves, can create enough space to get a wide-open 3,” Rockets coach Mike D’Antoni said at a practice earlier this season. “People just don’t do that. It’s almost impossible. … Everything is kind of in slow motion to him.” Players like Harden and Curry have stretched the definition of what is possible beyond the arc, and each has done so using his singular abilities to get his shot off. Curry’s deft handle and fluid motion allows him to dribble into shots more easily than anyone; Harden, meanwhile, built on what’s worked for so long in the NBA to create something new. This is the story of how Harden got there, and why the league is following suit. The origin of the side step can be traced back to the “zero step,” in which the pivot step after a player has discontinued their dribble isn’t counted as one of the two steps allotted before a stop, pass, or shot. According to Ronnie Nunn, a former NBA referee of 19 years and the league’s director of officials from 2003 to 2008, the zero step came about in the 1960s, and creativity bloomed from there. “Now comes the one-two in any direction you want to go,” Nunn said in a phone interview. “Kind of like a Gale Sayers being able to go right and left. Like a crossover but without a dribble.” With the zero step, players could take two steps in any direction they wanted. Mostly, it was forward or backward. The latter gave birth to the stepback, which is when a player springs away to avoid a defender’s reach. “Everybody been using side-step, stepback moves,” Kevin Durant told me before a game. “I remember Kobe using them, T-Mac using them. We’re all students. I don’t think anybody in 2019 is creating anything in basketball. They’re just making everything their own. They’re just adding their own flavor and style to it.” But it’s not all ballet. A more brutish relative of the stepback is the bump-off. That’s when a player springs off direct contact with a defender into a shot. The goal is to create more separation by sending the defender’s momentum forward while the offensive player leans back or to the side.

The Queen Of Basketbal Hortência 4 (Female Michael Jordan) And Stephen Curry 30 Full HD

#DubNation Hortência Crowned #FIBAWWC GOAT in Fan Vote http://www.fiba.basketball/en/womensbasketballworldcup/2018/news/hall-of-famer-hortencia-crowned-fibawwc-goat-in-fan-vote TERESA EDWARDS( (born July 19, 1964) is an American former women's basketball player. In 2000, Sports Illustrated magazine placed her as 22nd of the "100 Greatest Female Athletes of the 20th Century".): Hortência was, to be perfectly honest, unstoppable, for his height, speed and technique in pitches. Certainly in selections environment, it was the best player against whom I played directly.Hortência was invited to play in the WNBA but not accepted and It is unacceptable that these some North American basketball experts,didn't cite her as the biggest and best basketball player of all time and not Taurasi because she was born in USA, and have played in the WNBA. She together with Magic Paula, already beat, the US women's basketball selection for three times, once took place in Havana in 1991 Pan American Games in Cuba in which they were champions, another in the American Cup in Brazil in 1993 froam other vice in 1994 munidal in Australia, where they became champions. Michael Jordan never made more than 100 points in a game (his record is 96). The Brazilian player Hortencia, has scored 124. However, Hortencia and Paula are the heart and soul of the team, two shooting guards who somehow co-exist in international play. Hortencia has the greater international reputation, partly for having scored 64 points in one game six or seven years back,With her ponytail swinging back and forth and her expressive face and constant chatter, she is more noticeable. Hortencia In Brazil, The Name Stands For Excellence In Struggling Sport Of Women's Basketball In Brazil, they simply refer to her as Hortencia. She might not be as well known as that country's legendary soccer star, Pele. But Hortencia Marcara, the explosive 5-8 guard on the Brazilian basketball team, is generally regarded as the best women's player in South America, and possibly the best in the Pan American Games. "She basically goes by one name," U.S. coach Jody Conradt said. "That gives you a clue as to how good she is. I can only think of Pele, Reggie and Hortencia." Hortencia established herself as a world presence at the 1983 Pan Am when she dropped 48 points on the U.S. in Caracas, Venezuela. She tortured a touring University of Tennessee team in June, scoring 43 points during a 100-82 victory over the defending NCAA champions. "She's the best shooter I've ever seen," Conradt said after watching Marcari shoot 16-for-22 and score 37 points during a 69-point route of hapless Peru. "She's the most exciting player in the world.. Hortencia already has destroyed a lot of teams in her native country, where the talent pool is limited. She recently scored an eye-opening 124 points during a 252-31 victory in a tournament held at Sao Paulo State. Hortencia plays for Minercal, a club team sponsored by a lime-producing factory in her hometown of Sorocaba. Sorocaba is a city of 100,000, located in the interior of the Southeast region. But Hortencia has put it on the map. According to Brazilian journalists covering the tournament, she earns the equivalent of $40,000 a year, which is roughly 100 times the average annual wage. Hortencia is 27 years old. She is the youngest of seven children. She started playing at age 13 and had to develop on her own since none of her siblings ever competed in the sport. Hortencia works as a recreation leader and helps support her parents, who are retired. She practices five hours a day. "My life is basketball," she said through an interpreter. She and Oscar Schmidt of the unbeaten Brazilian men's team have helped keep basketball alive in a country where the popularity of the sport is slipping. Volleyball is taking over, particularly in the bigger cities. But Hortencia could become as big a story as the Brazilian men's volleyball team if her team wins a gold medal here. Hortencia is a pure shooting guard with range that routinely extends beyond the international 20-feet, 6-inch three-point line. "She makes points naturally," Brazilian coach Maria Helena Cardoso said. "I hate it when people think I have to score points," Hortencia said. ''I'm not preoccupied with that." There are some, like Edwards, who would disagree. Edwards stopped just short of calling Hortencia a gunner "If I was on their team and could shoot full-time and never worry about anybody else's feelings, that would be great. I don't fear Brazil. I fear Hortencia." Strengths: Stephen Curry is not only one of the best shooters in the NBA today, he may be one of the best shooters the league has ever seen. To go along with his shooting ability, he is an extremely smart player who works hard at his craft. He’s willing to do whatever it takes to win.

Epic Duel Michael Jordan 36 pts Vs. Kobe Bryant 33 pts

December 17, 1997: Los Angeles Lakers @ Chicago Bulls With Kobe Bryant set to eclipse Michael Jordan on the NBA’s all-time scoring list, it seems fitting that we present a little history lesson on all of the times these two individuals proverbially “shot a fair one.” As known by all, Bryant and Jordan are two of the most intense competitors the game has ever seen, and their sample size of matchups proves to be quite enticing. While their on-court exploits are one thing, their on-court aesthetic may have been even better, as each player laced ups some of the most iconic silhouettes during their respective battles. With that in mind, we present Kobe vs. MJ Head-to-Head: What They Wore & Who Won. Flip through the pages below to get a detail account of the series between the two legends. echnically speaking, this December 1997 matchup wasn’t the first series between Michael and Kobe, but it did mark the first occasion in which both players filled the stat sheet and provided a memorable game. Second year player Kobe Bryant would score 33 points, dish out 2 assists and snag 3 rebounds in the adidas KB8 model. While Bryant’s numbers were stellar, MJ and the Bulls secured the win as His Airness, while rocking the Air Jordan 13s, hit 36 points, dished out 4 assists, and recorded 5 rebounds.

Stephen A. Smith isnt having any of this Kobe and Kawhi comparison talk from Max Kellerman’s

ESPN’s “First Take” is said to be unscripted, but sometimes you can’t help but wonder if the show is explicitly designed not to spark genuine sports debate but to get a rise out of social media when it is taken at face value. Case in point, Max Kellerman’s ridiculous assertion that Kawhi Leonard of the Toronto Raptors is a better clutch player in the playoffs than was five-time NBA champion and surefire Hall of Famer Kobe Bryant. Stephen A. Smith, as he does, disputed the point at the top of his lungs. “There has been no evidence — none! — whatsoever! — to compare him to Kobe in terms of being a clutch player!” he said. Guest Jay Williams appeared to agree with Smith, but it’s hard to tell because he could hardly get a word in. Completing this poll entitles you to The Wildcard updates free of charge.

Eventually, he had had enough. “Stephen A.,” Williams interrupted. “Don’t. I’m not going to do this. … I have to go.” He then got up and walked off the set. “We can’t help you. We can’t help you. … We’re just seeing Kawhi carry something for the first time,” Smith said, and the yelling went on and on. ESPN seems to be falling victim to a problem familiar to any action movie franchise, where serial escalation means each new installment must be bigger, more extreme, and more out-there than the one that came before it in order to keep audiences interested. Advertisement - story continues below “First Take” has become a show where if the producers decided that Smith was going to argue that the sky is blue, Kellerman would cite a bunch of out-of-context statistics to show that the sky is orange, complete with photos taken at sunset during a California wildfire but presented as if they were high noon on a clear day. And sure enough, some on social media suspected the discussion wasn’t honest.
